The challenge

Research silos hindering collaboration

LexisNexis research teams were working in isolation across different jurisdictions and sectors, leading to significant duplication of efforts and inconsistent information quality.

Critical institutional knowledge was being lost when experienced researchers left the organization, and new team members required 6 months to become productive.

Without centralized collaboration tools, researchers couldn't easily share insights or build upon each other's work, slowing down project completion and reducing overall research quality.

Lost expertise
Slow onboarding
